SIDNEY LE ROY SKINNER, OF OTTAWA, ILLINOIS,

SHADE-FIXTURE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 773,105, dated October 25, 1904.

Application led April 18, 19051. Serial No. 203,701. (No model.) l

To a/ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIDNEY LE RoYSKIN- NER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ottawa, in the county of Lasalle and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Shade-Fixtures, of which the following is a specification.

My invention pertains to shade-lixtures, more particularly shade-fixtures adapted to be ixed of themselves on the side stilesof window-frames; and it con'sists in the peculiar and advantageous fixture of the type mentioned, hereinafter described, and specifically defined in the claims appended.

' In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure l is a perspective view of a fixture constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken through a side stile of a window frame and illustrating my novel Fig. 3 isa transverse section taken in the plane indicated by the line 3 3 of Fig. l.

ing the stile-engaging plates andthe bracket.

Similar letters designate corresponding parts in all of the views of the drawings, referring to which A is a side stile of a window-frame, and B is my novel fixture as a whole. In the present and preferred embodiment of my invention the said fixture comprises a rear plate a', longitudinally slotted, as indicated by and having an angular arm cat one end, on which is a barb CZ, designed to be embedded in one side of the stile A, Fig. 2, a forward plate e,

having a transverse aperture f, Fig. 3, andv also having an angular arm g, on which is a barb la, designed to be embedded in the opposite side of the stile, a bracket c', having longitudinal flanges j, shaped to receive the longitudinal edges of the plates c e and also f having a longitudinal slot 7c and an arm'Z, a

bolt m, having a head n at its rear end, an angular portion p, disposed in the slot of the plate a, and a threaded portion Q, extending through the aperture f of plate @and the slot Fig. l isa perspective view of the longitudinally-slotted stile-engagk of the bracket and forwardly beyond said bracket, Aand a nut r, preferably a wing-nut, mounted on the extended portion of the bolt and bearing against the face of the bracket c',

as illustrated.

. In virtue of the construction described it will be observed that my novel xture may be readily adjusted'as to length to fit Stiles of different widths, and. after the barbs d laV are Vembedded in a stile, Fig. 2, the plates a and "e and the bracket c' may beadjustably fixed will also be observed that the bracket c' serves to hold the plates a c together-c'. e., parallel to each other-and that the said bracket is adjustable lengthwise independently of the plates a e both before and after said plates are fixed on a stile.

Notwithstanding the 'readiness with which 'my novel fixture may be xed on a stile and the facility with which the bracket may be adjusted and adjustably fixed to suit the particular shade-roller to be held,it will be noticed that the fixture is simple and inexpensive and embodies no delicate parts such as are likely to be broken or getout of order after a short period of use.

I have entered into a detailed description of the present and preferred embodiment of my invention in order to impart a definite understanding of the same. I do not desire, however, to be understood as restricting myself -to the exact construction shown and described, as such changes or modifications may be made in practice as fairly fall within the scope of my invention as claimed.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

1. A shade-fixture comprising rear' and forward plates each provided with a rearwardlydirected arm on which is an inwardly-directed barb; the rear plate being also provided with a longitudinal slot and the forward plate with an aperture registering with said slot, a

IOO

bracket on the forward plate, a bolt having a head disposed in rear of the rear plate, an angular portion disposed in the slot of the rear plate and a threaded portion extending through the aperture of the forward plate and beyond said plate, and a nut mounted on said extended portion of the bolt.

2. A shade-fixture consisting essentially oi' the following elements, viz: a rear plate and a forward plate each provided with a rearwardly-directed arm on which is an inwardlydirected barb; the rear plate being also provided with a longitudinal slot and the forward plate with an aperture registering with said slot, a bracket having longitudinal flanges receiving the edges of the plates, and a longitudinal slot, and also having an arnl, a bolt having a head disposed in rear oi the rear plate, an angular portion disposed in the slot of the rear plate, and a threaded portion extending throughout the aperture ol the forward plate and the slot ol the bracket and beyond the latter, and a nut niounted on said bolt, in front of the bracket.

In testimony whereof l have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
